Hey, everybody's got stupid people whom they'd rather would just shut up on their side. No party ideology has a monopoly on idiocy.

However, if you're a Republican, then the odds are pretty good that the stupid person is you…

Forty-two percent of Republicans say President Obama was born outside the United States, while only 37 percent say he was born here.

Twenty-five percent of Democrats say President George W. Bush let 9/11 happen, while 63 percent say he didn't.

At a certain point, you have to wonder if ignorance is a lifestyle choice.

* If you don't rebuild, the Jedis win. They hate our way of life.

* This article here says that people's faith in the accuracy in news reporting has hit its lowest point in two decades. But, you know, I don't fucking believe that shit.

* Sen, Robert Byrd just wants to protect young gay men from getting molested by Julius Ceasar. Or something.

* Majority of doctors found to be socialist scum.

* Double-Yoo Tee Eff, ACORN? If you're going to be corrupt, do you have to be moronic about it, too?

Osama bin Laden, audio tape surfaces, death to America, blah blah blah…

In a tape released Sunday by al-Qaida's media wing [Ed note: al-Qaida's media wing??], terrorist leader Osama bin Laden said President Barack Obama is "powerless" to stop the war in Afghanistan.

Bin Laden's address to the American people comes two days after the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. He typically addresses the United States in a message around the Sept. 11 anniversary.

It's kind of like our anniversary. And here we were thinking he'd forgot.

When Obama became president and retained many of the Bush administration's military leaders, such as Defense Secretary Robert Gates, "reasonable people knew that Obama is a powerless man who will not be able to end the war as he promised," bin Laden said.

"If you end the war, so to it," bin Laden said. "But if it is otherwise, all we will do is continue the war of attrition against you on all possible axes."

Ugh! This guy. I'm sorry; I don't mean to be impolite, but I just have to say it: I really do not care for this Osama bin Laden fellow. Not at all.

I mean, first there's the whole thing with him killing several thousand innocent Americans, which right there makes him pretty much a total jerk. And there's the protracted war in the Middle East, which, I know, was really more the doing of the Bush administration than al-Qaida, but still, bin Laden's being a real d-bag about it.

And now there's this thing with the needling and the yelling names at us from some hiding place in a Pakistani cave or wherever. Not for nothing, but that is just classic douchebag behavior.

Yeah, I don't like him at all. He's pretty much even worse than Taylor Max.

From The CC Insider…

People seemed to respond well when I posted this last year, so I thought I'd do it again. It's the September 20, 2001 episode of The Daily Show in it's entirety. I've never been able to put any meaningful words together about 9/11 and this really isn't the venue for that anyway, so I'll just say I hope you get something out of watching this, be it comfort, enjoyment or simply a welcome distraction.

Continue watching.

Hey, you know what today is, don't you?

That's right! It's the day before Glenn Beck's 9/12 celebration…

The 9-12 Project is designed to bring us all back to the place we were on September 12, 2001.

Fearful, confused and existentially adrift?

The day after America was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the values and principles of the greatest nation ever created.

Oh, well, that doesn't sound so terrible. I mean, who, really, in their right mind could be opposed to that? Could it be that I've had Glenn Beck wrong all this time?

Oh, wait. That's right.  Nevermind.

The date: September 10, 2009. The location: Coast Guard Headquarters, Genius Division, Washington DC.

Coast Guard Genius #2: Oh, right! That's the day we climb in the boats with our guns and shoot them off over the Potomac River, for practice.

Coast Guard Genius #1: Dude. Never forget.
